Chinatown often becomes, to the natives, a hot spot for trafficking and drug dealing, a destination for cheap goods and labour, or even one of the stereotypes in Hollywood movies, a haven for all outlaws. I therefore adapted the movie scenes of police arrests into a circular shooting range, with ten images, an air gun in the middle and the warning mounted on a pedestal: ‘You have the right to remain silent; everything you say can and will be held against you in a court of law.’ Aiming at the unidentified figures in black with both arms held high in surrender, the audience play the policing role in the standard procedure of apprehension. The shooting game is critical of colonial mentality and reflects on stigmatised stereotypes of immigrants.
